15 Freelancer Design And Development Creative Job Boards
Dainis Graveris
I believe many readers of my site are designers and developer themselves and freelancing is great way to earn extra income..or even better make it full time one with free conditions. This article is created to help you – find your potential clients or exactly opposite – to find who can do job for you. There are even job board directly related to help find programmer – designer and contrary. There are times when you can think, that you can do everything by yourself – but for me, I am better designer, and there is no way I will be very good PHP coder – I can get job done, but it takes a lot of precious time. Sometimes it’s better to hire somebody, so you can do what you do the best and not waste your time! Time is money remember!
This list features 15 best design related job boards in my opinion, hope you’ll find this article useful! In future I think to evolve this article and create other one just related to bloggers, because there are many services which offers affiliate programs, paid posts and things like that. I think it’s valuable at least to know such sites, can be good for article ideas too sometimes.

Posted 901 days ago 19I guess my major problem with many of these sites is that they display however much you’ve gained through them and rank accordingly. I feel like the user/client should be able to pick and choose professionals for themselves based upon the presentation of the bid, not the presentation of the designer. It just really irks me when information such as that has to be used to rank designers rather than their skills. Granted, I suppose this is supposed to be such a display of skills, but I feel it is a poor one.

Posted 912 days ago 17A freelancer is a person who is self employed. Freelance work is used in many different professions, but most commonly a freelancer works in the fields of writing and editing, photography, web design, graphic arts, or computer programming. In any given profession, freelancers sell or contract their work to a client rather than being employed by a business.

Posted 929 days ago 6Thanks for this – good to get a comparison of the sites.
Also, the comments on this post are useful too – looks like FS is the place to go to post jobs.

Posted 929 days ago 5My favorite is FreelanceSwitch too and looks like at least for the first place we all have same thoughts! Great!
@Luis Lopez thanks for sharing, since I am not so much in 3D stuff I just gathered more web/graphic design related job boards.
@Maris agreed, I think FS is the first place to look out for, since all the other popular job boards ask pretty big payment before.
Maris
Posted 929 days ago 4I love Freelanceswitch because you can publish your listing for free. As the other job boards ask for this $100-$200 or more, it sounds like a good deal.
On the other hand they ask subscription fee from freelancers, but still you can find true professionals using their board.
